Because of the many archaeological finds in Lejre, these legends, tales and ancient worldviews have gained new attention. There is a surprising correlation between numerous finds and stories and the legends about a great monarch who settled in the area. Lejre was clearly a significant centre of power in ancient times. With Harald Bluetooth, the centre of power moved to Roskilde, which at that time was a European metropolis larger than London. The first Islands’ Assembly of the Estates of the Realm took place in Roskilde and formed the basis of Denmark’s Constitution. The past is part of our present even though it is long gone. Today, Welcome Roskilde and Lejre Roskilde is known not only for its significance in the history of Denmark, but also for its festival and the city’s alternative arts and culture scene. Yet ancient remnants can still be seen in the city, villages and landscape in the area. The cultural landscape is highly unique in Lejre, both in the vicinity of Lejre Museum and in the surrounding forests, where there are many different paths for walking and cycling. In Roskilde, the buildings and landscape also boast many cultural sites. There’s plenty to do as a tourist in Roskilde and Lejre. Feel the presence of history or immerse yourself in a modern city where young people open their homes to couchsurfers. Guide / VisitRoskilde / Page 7 Roskilde AND lejre Page 8 / VisitRoskilde / Guide Roskilde and Lejre offer a wealth of experiences and activities to take part in. Learn more about the ferocious Viking warriors, visit the tombs of Danish kings and queens at Roskilde Cathedral, overnight at the Land of Legends with the whole family or take a drive through the incredibly beautiful surrounding countryside. Many small gems await discovery that will both surprise and excite your senses. There’s plenty to do, so stay for 24, 48 or 72 hours … the choice is yours. Roskilde AND lejre See it all! roskilde AND lejre Go on a Viking raid The Vikings in Roskilde and Lejre were nothing to joke about, and have produced a deadly serious and fascinating chapter of history. Known and feared throughout the world, the Vikings have an almost mythical reputation that has grown from multiple sources over time. At one point, the Vikings sank five ships in Roskilde Fjord to prevent the enemy from sailing into Roskilde, the resulting blockade of ships protected the town and the king against enemy attacks. The Viking ships, which have been excavated and reconstructed, are on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. Lejre has a completely different history, as witnessed by the poem BeowuIf. Beowulf was the nephew Page 10 / VisitRoskilde / Guide of the Geatish king Hygelac, whose relations had close contact with king of the Danes’ court. In Beowulf the old king of the Danes, Rolf, is in deep distress because a monster menaces his great hall, abducting and eating one of his warriors every night. The hall was otherwise the gathering place for large feasts with singing and dancing. After the monster had raged on for 12 years, Beowulf decided to come to the rescue of the Danish king. He gathered his warriors and after a long struggle managed to slay the monster. King Rolf was so pleased by this achievement that he hailed Beowulf with grand weapons and gold rings. Later, after Hygelac’s death, Beowulf became the king of the Geats, but lost his life in a battle against a dragon. Beowulf came to the rescue of King Rolf Guide / VisitRoskilde / Page 11 Roskilde and Lejre in 24-72 hours Restaurant Snekken Restaurant Rådhuskælderen Page 12 / VisitRoskilde / Guide Viking ships and King Harald Bluetooth DAY 1 Begin mid-morning at the Viking Ship Museum, which tells the interesting story of how our ancestors defended the royal city of Roskilde.

In the afternoon, visit the cathedral, which has a unique history. Harald Bluetooth is said to have built a wooden church in the very spot where the stone church we know today stands.

When the ice began to melt, mammoth-sized chunks remained. Wedged deeply into the earth, they slowly disappeared, depositing vast amounts of gravel and stone that form the many hills you can admire today. The spaces that formed between the mounds later filled with water, creating various ponds and small lakes. Swamps, wet areas, beech forests and forests of elm, maple, oak and hazel still provide ideal homes for birds, mammals, insects, fish, shellfish and more.

Guide / VisitRoskilde / Page 27 THE COUNTRYSIDE Page 28 / VisitRoskilde / Guide The beautiful scenery in Roskilde and Lejre is well worth a visit, offering gorgeous natural settings to be experienced either on foot, by bicycle or by car. Here´s a small selection of the many places to see. THE COuNTRYSIDE Discover the most beautiful places the coUntryside On foot, by bike or by caar Lejre´s beautiful countryside The countryside surrounding Lejre and Roskilde offers many things to do. Enjoy the rich birdlife in the islets and islands of Roskilde Fjord or the national forests of Boserup and Hvalsø, which are perfect for exploring the forest floor and the landscape of nearby manor estates. The forests comprise a mosaic of farm, grass and wetlands, in addition to a wealth of ancient monuments. Other interesting areas around Lejre and Roskilde include Rørmosen swamp south of Boserup Forest and the well-laid baroque gardens of Ledreborg Palace. Many of these nature areas boast good facilities Page 30 / VisitRoskilde / Guide including hiking trails, bird watching towers and shelters. Southwest of the village of Særløse are three natural gems. The meadows of Særløse Overdrev are dotted with grazing cows and are home to plants specifically found in grasslands. Bøllesø Lake is an excavated peat bog that can be crossed via a boardwalk and home to various amphibians. From the lake continue on to the clean waters of Avnsø Lake, located in the middle of the forest and used by bathers both summer and winter. These three natural gems are connected by the Scylding Path and parking is available nearby. Don´t miss out on a fantastic experience Guide / VisitRoskilde / Page 31 THE CONTRYSIDE Boserup Forest One of the most visited natural areas near Roskilde is Boserup Forest and there are many good reasons why. A wonderful place to be year around, there is room for outdoor recreation, nature experiences and family fun. The peacefulness of the forest provides room for quiet contemplation and a network of mountain bike trails also provides the opportunity for some serious exercise. Tadre Mill This water mill in the valley called Elverdamsdal dates back to the Middle Ages. In the area surrounding Aastrup Abbey at least 13 water mills once existed, but Tadre Mill, which is a protected site, is the only fully functional mill that has been preserved. In 1996 Roskilde Museum opened a museum and nature centre at the mill farm that focuses on the cultural environment and interaction between people and nature. Protected under the Nature Conservation Act, Elverdamsdalen is surrounded by beautiful natural gems. Page 32 / VisitRoskilde / Guide The area surrounding the village of Gl. Lejre is especially known for its many ancient monuments and legends about the descendants of Scyld. But a walk among the ancient mounds and stone ships also lets you experience the outdoors in a variety of ways. Protected orchids can be found in the meadows and a dam from medieval times has formed a lake where many birds flock. The area is crisscrossed by a network of bike and walking paths. The countryside Gl. Lejre Bolund The peninsula of Bolund, located just north of Risø on Roskilde Fjord’s eastern coast, is a significant landmark with its narrow hills leaning in toward the coast. From the parking lot on Frederiksborgvej, a trip to the peninsula means traversing a protected salt marsh. There is a beautiful view of Roskilde Fjord from the top of Bolund. Both the peninsula and the salt marsh are home to inter-esting plants and a rich bird life. Guide / VisitRoskilde / Page 33 Culture Page 34 / VisitRoskilde / Guide Several hours can easily slip away as you look about at the culture in Roskilde. The city has a large variety of cultural activities for the young, alternative thinkers, traditional lovers of culture and, of course, for those who are interested in everything. CULTURE Follow your cultural curiosity CULTURE The new cultural area – DAY 1 & perhaps also DAY 2 Take your time and enjoy Roskilde´s new cultural area runs parallel to the walking street and is another alternative for experiencing the culture of Roskilde. Here you can visit Roskilde Library, Roskilde Museum, Roskilde Convent (guided tours available), Roskilde Cathedral, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Palace Garden, the Rose Garden and the Latin Garden. Enjoy exploring Roskilde, which still boasts many old buildings, and absorb the city’s medieval history. As you wander through town you’ll pass many of the above-mentioned museums. It’s just a question of picking a place to Page 36 / VisitRoskilde / Guide get started. You can easily spend a day or two wandering around the various museums. The pace is entirely up to you. There is a large number of eateries where you can enjoy both lunch and dinner. See page 60 for an overview. A dose of culture on DAY 2, 3, 4 When you’ve had your fill of museums, move on to other places to experience something different. Culture The harbour – a world of its own In the summertime Roskilde Harbour is a magnet for fun and excitement. On weekday evenings there is dancing on Museum Island with line dancing on Tuesdays, folk dancing on Wednesdays and Salsa on Fridays. On Thursdays a large number of classic car owners meet, often accompanied by live rockabilly music in front of the Gasworks arranged by Galleri Labr. Every Sunday afternoon there’s jazz on the quayside. Throughout the week you can visit Skak Snidtker’s beautiful glass gallery and check out Galleri Labr’s fun and inspiring universe in the Gasworks. For even more atmosphere, visit Maritime Days and Roskilde Jazz Festival, both of which take place in June. Guide / VisitRoskilde / Page 37 Culture St Jørgensbjerg St Jørgensberg is one of the most beautiful parts of Roskilde, described by its welcoming residents as located down on the mountain because their hilltop is not quite as high as the one Roskilde Cathedral is built on. This idyllic area is full of old half-timbered houses, hollyhocks, narrow streets and various vantage points. After visiting the harbour head Page 38 / VisitRoskilde / Guide up the hill to St Jørgens Church, which offers a beautiful view of Roskilde Harbour and the Viking Ship Museum. In the very old days, St Jørgensberg was an impoverished little village that provided the city’s inhabitants with fish. There was a poorhouse, orphanages and a leprosy hospital. The church walls have holes that allowed the lepers to stand outside to hear the priest’s sermons. Visit Musicon – simply a must Culture Alternative things to do in Roskilde. If you’re young or you’re into skating then don’t miss out on Hall 12 or Rabalder Park at Musicon. The park opened in the autumn of 2012 and is full of awesome challenges. Young people like to hang out in the park and the hall, which is open to all. Ride BMX, inliners, scooters and skateboards. There’s also a Friday’s bar, theme parties and concerts featuring up-and-coming bands. Follow what’s happening on Hall 12’s Facebook page (Hal 12) or check out hal12.dk Now that you’re at Musicon, don’t miss out on the Pixel Park playground, Open Dance and Roskilde eSport with gaming on Thursdays. And, until Denmark’s Rock Museum opens in a few short years, there are plenty of concerts, dance performances, Friday cafés, children’s theatre, debates, art exhibitions, performances, street festivals and flea markets to see and do.
